Check the metal disk guards aren't bent or out of place and rubbing on the brake disks, however these wouldn't be strong enough to make it feel like the brakes were on when pulling away. There are also other small metal parts that can become bent out of place and grind on the moving disk such as the pad retention clips.

Have you re-fitted or renewed your pads recently? Even if you've just done them, the way they are fitted can cause a grinding and cause them to stick. Could even be something simple like a little wd40 needed on the caliper.

Saw the topic and thought someone might be wanting to go at their Hippo with a 12" petrol grinder - got me all excited. I'll get back in me box now.
